Ingratiating oneself through excessive nicety does not inherently ensure admiration nor esteem. The cognitive structure of the human mind is innately attuned to amass resources and scan for potential dangers. 

Moreover, the propensity towards ingrained behavioral patterns further solidifies this principle, whereby any gesture devoid of threat and recurrent in nature is susceptible to being disregarded. 

Should one persist in a pursuit to manifest an image of harmlessness and constant availability for assistance, the eventual outcome is likely to culminate in fleeting commendation followed by dismissal. 

Such a demeanor renders one inconsequential to a distinct cognitive facet, under the guise of non-threatening demeanor, while being progressively taken for granted by another due to ingrained habits.

In essence, it is not an issue of unjust treatment post acts of kindness, but rather a conflict with the intrinsic laws governing the complexities of the human psyche. 

The essence of kindness should stem from an intrinsic desire to dispense benevolence, rather than a strategic or obligatory enactment, as the latter is bereft of gain. 

Kindness, as acknowledged, does not serve as a means to an end; true efficacy lies in the comprehension and assimilation of this verity.

Upon grasping this fundamental veracity, the individual's cognitive landscape is rendered amenable to exploring more efficacious avenues for the attainment of desires. 

There exist myriad alternative methods for enacting positive change in the world, construing oneself merely as a passive recipient for others' whims does not serve justice to the diverse plethora of possibilities.
